Suppose we switched from Patriarchy to Matriarchy?

The more you take XFG's BS srsly, the more she will troll you with inane sarcasm. Try giving her the virtual silent treatment: Women hate it when you ignore them as they need constant attention.

way to miss the point.
Think about the fact that you aspie-checked xfiles fan for using sarcasm, and proceeded to load a post with sarcasm.
Also? 'raging,' 'narcissistic,' and 'butthurt frustration' are borderline ad-hominems and display a level of emotional reaction to this conversation that is totally out of line with the level of emotion that your opponents in the conversation are displaying. Take a deep breath and step away from the keyboard for a while.

That would be a valid point if we were using 'tone' in the exclusive context of sound and not in the context of communicating to each other in writing. You specifically claimed that 'tone' was not perceptible in writing; it has been conclusively demonstrated that this is not the case. You respond by re-defining 'tone' in such a limited context that your definition would render many normal, day-to-day conversations about tone in writing incoherent. Your logic leaves something to be desired.

sez the guy who flipped out when I failed to respond to an insulting PM.

Correct. Women ARE competitive; and just as much as men(particularly with each other). Western culture continues to promulgate the silly idea that women are instinctively cooperative and thus socialism is somehow "less masculist". Being analytical really isn't the best way to run a business though. You need to have a certain level of assertiveness and even aggression though because that fuels the competitive drive to push down others to climb up(and by that I do NOT mean physical violence or being confrontational! You can be sly, manipulative, and even passive-aggressive and still run a successful business and I say those traits are probably more useful if you're in the white collar category). The 2 things you need to succeed in the free market: Competitiveness and good social skills.

Clarification =/= redefinition. I WAS using "tone" in the context of sound. I'm the one who brought it up. If anyone's redefining anything, it's not me.

I tell someone's tone(as in, "don't take that tone with me, young man!") by the way in which they speak. I listen for changes in their voice; changes I cannot hear when reading text because text makes no sound.

I can tell when 1000knives is being sarcastic because I actually know him, so I know how he talks and how he acts. I compare that with something that he types to determine if he's being sarcastic or not based on whether or not it's something he would say with sincerity. I don't know XFG, and I see that's a damn good thing, too.

Tell me what is wrong with my logic. Being bad at detecting sarcasm is a common trait among aspies, and it's more difficult to detect thru text than thru sound, yet here are two idiots giving me s**t because I accidentally misinterpreted something that was typed by someone I don't know. Then when I ask for clarification, I get belittled even further... on a forum for aspies... who happen to be people who suck at social things... Are you friggin' serious right now?

I'm not giving you s**t because you misinterpreted something; I do the same thing all the time. I'm giving you s**t because you're pretending that your point was something other than what it was (that 'tone' does not exist in text), and then doubling down on it when you've been called to the floor.

If you are making the claim that "tone" does not exist in text by saying that "tone" is strictly an audio characteristic, you are redefining tone as strictly an audio characteristc - not clarifying your prior statement.

Men should fire their male bosses.

Any ZIP code of the form: 972XX. You can also get a Stalking Protective Order against *any* man you dislike(thanks, State of Oregon) and he will be considered guilty of criminal stalking until proven innocent. If your first petition gets rejected there's a feminist community center to coach you as to what to say in order to manipulate a judge.

My son's girlfriend beat him with an ice chest,hard enough to break the handle off the chest.I told him to file a domestic against her,he wouldn't do it.I think some men are embarrassed to go to the cops and say"my girl friend beat me up."but they should,they are victims just like the women that get battered.

He shoulda done something in retaliation. Even if he were sent to jail for it at least he'd have his pride. If you ever wonder why some men get rough with their gf's early in the relationship(not necessarily hitting or doing anything that leaves bruises or wounds), it's to discourage women from behaving this way. Gotta keep the pimp hand strong!

^ ewwwwww

You mean pimpin?

She's lucky I didn't do something,that was my baby she was pounding on.
AspieRougue,are you thinking of A Pimp Called Slickback?

Please elaborate.

And what did that particular outburst have to do with a discussion on whether the word "superior" can be used in a scientific context?



I stand corrected. And I deeply apologize for offending the entire biological establishment by not accepting www.biology-online.org as the highest authority in this particular field. I promise I shall never again make the mistake of... hey, wait a minute .



From the abstract in the first article:

"It has been hypothesized that larvae of benthic marine invertebrates may reduce their risk of post-settlement competition by avoiding superior competitors during settlement."

"Thus, our results suggest that invertebrate larvae do not avoid settling near established dominant competitors(i.e. colonial tunicates).
These results are in contrast to a previous study which had shown that larvae of competitively inferior species avoided settling near B. schlosseri."

So dominant and superior is used interchangeably in a peer-reviewed work by 3 biologists, all of them with a ph.d. or higher degree . I guess they aren't "real" biologists then.

Definitely not real biologists. Of course the "no real biologists" statement sounds a lot like a no true Scotsman fallacy
